Red Building in Forest by William Christenberry

Photograph from Hale County, Alabama 1983

When looking through the Art Knowledge News website today, I came across an interesting artist. William Christenberry revisits the same buildings in Alabama and documents the passage of time through different media including photography and sculpture.

Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art is presenting an exhibition March 14 through June 14, 2009: Passing Time: The Art of William Christenberry. The exhibit was organized by the Smithsonian American Art Museum and represents a survey of the artist’s painting, photography, sculpture, and drawings.
